Hi,
I've had my 2001 Weekend JTD110 a week or so now, and I have some questions I hope someone here can answer.
1) I only have 2 keys, both blue. I understand I should have a red "master" key in case I have to reprogram the immobiliser. The previous owner does not have this key..... and he says he never did. The car does have central locking, but it's not remote (or at least the keys I have don't have buttons on them). Now, the question is.... under what circumstances would I need a red master key? Only if I was daft and lost a key or for something more common like a disconnected battery? If it's only for a lost key, no problem.... I'll not bother but if I may need to reprogram every time the battery is disconnected I better get one. If I need one, is a FIAT dealer the only option?
2) Rear wash wipe - neither works. When operating the switch I can hear the water pump but no water comes out and the wiper will move a couple of inches but will only complete it's sweep with brute force assistance. Obviously not a problem with the switch or wiring - but is there a common fault(s) I should look for?
3) According to the service schedule, I need a new cambelt every 72k - the car has done 87 but had a new engine at 30. Meaning the engine has done 57k... I'm always a believer in "better safe than sorry" so with it booked for a service in a few weeks I thought I would get the belt done... how much am I looking at for this?
Thanks a lot for any help you can give.
